| Performance Notes | The lure of the East runs through this Prom given by Maxim Emelyanychev and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. French pianist and star of the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, Alexandre Kantorow is the soloist in Saint- Sae¨nss Egyptian Piano Concerto a vivid musical travelogue, lively with chirping crickets and croaking frogs while a selection from Rameaus ballet Les Indes galantes offers sonic snapshots from Peru, Turkey, Persia and America.
Fate knocks loudly at the door in Beethovens Fifth Symphony, answered with defiant musical optimism, but its Death who gets the final word in Jay Capperaulds Bruckners Skull.
